Why Was
Her True North Created?

After years of mentoring first-time and newly promoted leaders, Melissa noticed a troubling pattern: highly motivated, ambitious, and enthusiastic female leaders were stepping into leadership roles full of potential, only to find themselves overwhelmed, under-supported, and unsure of how to navigate the complexities of leading others.

Many were drowning in unrealistic expectations, unclear role definitions, and the pressure to prove themselves immediately, often without proper onboarding, guidance, or tools.

The impact was more than professional, it was personal. With confidence eroding and self-doubt creeping in, these women started questioning whether they were "cut out" for leadership.

And the worst part? It wasn’t a reflection of their capability; it was a failure of the system to set them up for success. 

Regrettably, companies continue to fall short of providing aspiring, brand new or newly promoted leaders with practical, structured and real-life leadership programs to set them up for success. ​A Centre for Creative Leadership article stated that:

- 20% of leaders are doing a poor job, according to their teams

- 26% of leaders felt they weren’t really ready to lead others 

- 60% of leaders never received any upfront training

This has become the driving force behind Her True North, a leadership and coaching experience designed to provide the support, strategy, and community Melissa wished every woman had access to the moment they stepped into leadership.
